To map your way forward, you need to know where you are.

Because regulations are the water you swim in, we bring our fluency in ever-shifting regional, state, and federal policies to bear on every project, identifying and addressing policy implications along the way. We believe in evaluation as a best practice, offering research to inform future programs. And because better strategy is your ultimate aim, it’s ours too. Working closely with you, we apply a variety of forward-looking techniques and analyses to help optimize your energy efficiency portfolios for the long-term.
